It's a more attractive look than at firstsight looks.
I think that everyone knows about that story but I was astonished when I started reading because Mark Twain describes perfectly how those people were years ago, their thoughts, their lives, their works...
As I always say, the problem with the English Books for foreing students is that they are not motivating. The I watched the toes in the sand and I started moaning. Again a clasic one...
I have been deceived for many years. I think that I know about The Phantom of the Opera but it was not true.
Before reading the book, I was angry with Jules Verne. Did you know that in the book "Travel from Earth to Moon" Jules Verne described Spanish people as mean people because Spain didn't give as many money as they wanted to finance the trip?
Now, at Easter, I'm reading all I can, and I'm going to write some ideas about the books I read.
And of course, the book includes reviews to check your progress.
That's the last book I have read. As you can guess it is a children book. It is edited by Harper Collins. It's a very good and entertaining book. Many authors wrote short but scaring stories. Although you are grown up, you are going to be terrified because they used the things near and more common to terrify you. And they do. Look under your bed or inside your wardrobe, be careful with the doll, your puppy or even your parents..."There's something under the bed"
"Don't be silly. You're a big boy now." His father said, and turned out the light.
"But there is! Please Daddy, look!"
So his father got down in the dark beside the bed. And disappeared...
The story continues, you have to read that book, although you can imagine the ending of that story.
-It was TERRIFIC performance, for which he deserves to win an Oscar.
-Absolutely TERRIFYING! I have never been so frightened in all my life.
-This was probably the worst film I've seen all year. The plot was non-existent and the acting was TERRIBLE.
Though it was publiated in august 2010 I hacve recently read it. As you can imagine I'm not interested in Spanish Celebreties so, I'm not either interested in British jetset. But I have to recognize that I have learnt many vocabulary words like:
And me too.
This book is awesome. It plays with the language and it explains some difficult aspects very easily. I love when writer starts explaining some farcical figures of speech:
And there are many proverbs too:
There are many others like:
If you can, buy and read it, it is amazing.
1204 facts are described in this 500-paged book. It works in a simplyly way. It describes many short facts about different contents: Earth and space, science, prehistoric life, the animal world and History. I'll write a fact about each contents: A very nice book, with a very interesting information for anyone who likes learning culture facts. If you can, buy it.
The book was bought in Machester and though it has got 500 pages it is quite cheap. It was an offer. A sale. I liked it becouse it talks about many different sorts of things: planets, weather, animals, inventions, dinosaurs, Egyptians, human body... Near all the books is done by asking us some questions like: Answers:
There is many information about Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, pirates, explorers...
It is a nice book to have a basic information about cultural facts and a good way to check that we need to learn more vocabulary than we thought.
Surely an English child could be smiling, but for an English learner sometimes the dictionary is needed. For example: courtyard, seek, worship, barley, leek, beak, hatch...
THE FILMS TRAILER:After working for two days, here you have the video of my Nativity Scene. It has got some new vocabulary and two carols of Sinatra. If you click on the four square arrows, the screen gets bigger and you can watch it properly. Enjoy it.
THEY TOOK SOME PICTURES. YES, THERE ARE IN BLACK AND WHITE BUT REMEMBER WE ARE IN 1914.

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PHOTO!, TWO ENEMIES, TAKING A PHOTO.
THEY CELEBRATED CHRISTMAS EVE SINGING, TALKING, SHOWING THEIR RELATIVES PHOTOS, WRITTING BACK TO HOME AND EATTING A SPECIAL DINNER.
AND THEY COULD DO ANOTHER IMPORTATNT THING, THEY BURIED DEAD BODIES AND THEY COULD CURE INJURIED SOLDIERS.
UNFORTUNATELLY, THEY HAD TO CONTINUE WITH THE WAR, A WAR THAT WOULD ENDED IN NOVEMBER 1918, WITH 5.525.000 ALLIES SOLDIERS DEAD AND 4.386.000 GERMAN SOLDIERS DEAD.
